What it does

Capability surface

— 01

Evidence mapping and cross-evidence AI

Pulls pleadings, witness statements, disclosure, correspondence, and exhibits into one matter workspace. Surfaces contradictions between witness accounts, timeline gaps, and documents that rebut each other. The pre-trial analysis a junior would spend weeks on, done continuously in the background.

— 02

Trial-bundle compiler

Generates court-ready trial bundles from the matter workspace. Pagination, index, cross-references, exhibits. Handles UK CPR-compliant format and Polish KPC format. What used to take a paralegal a week takes the system minutes — with every page traceable to its source document.

— 03

Precedent bank and playbook memory

Per-firm source-of-truth memory of house positions, negotiated carve-outs, and prior-matter outcomes. Retrieval grounded in the firm's own playbook, not a generic web corpus. Builds a compounding asset with every matter you run.

— 04

Voice dictation, three engines

Solicitor dictates analysis or instructions at the point of thought — the system transcribes, attributes to the matter, and routes to the right workflow. Three engines supported (browser Web Speech API, Whisper, provider-redundant fallback) so the feature keeps working when any one upstream is degraded.

— 05

Court-form pack

20 Polish civil-procedure court forms bundled as structured templates with quick-fill from matter data. UK equivalents (N-series, claim forms, application notices) on the roadmap. Filing becomes data entry once, not re-keying into PDFs every time.

— 06

Per-matter isolation and inspectable reasoning

Solicitor-client privilege preserved across agent interactions. No cross-matter bleed. Every output carries a full trace — which agent produced it, which sources it consulted, which verification rules ran — defensible for professional-conduct reviews and insurer queries.

Who it’s for

Buyer profile

Litigation-heavy firms — UK and PL

Firms running civil, commercial, immigration, or family caseloads with regular trial-bundle deadlines.

The firms where evidence triage and bundle preparation eat the most partner and paralegal time. Legal AI handles the investigation stack end-to-end: evidence map, contradiction detection, precedent retrieval, bundle compilation. What used to need a dedicated paralegal becomes one seat + platform. Solicitors keep judgment; the platform handles the paperwork.

Sole practitioners and small firms

Solicitors and adwokaci running lean practices — no paralegals, no bundle team.

The matter-workspace tier. Court-form pack, voice dictation, basic precedent memory, calendar export, encrypted backup. Replaces the patchwork of Word templates, PDFs, and Outlook that the sole practitioner operates today — without the enterprise price tag of Harvey or Lexis+.

How it’s built

Agent pipeline

Not a single prompt or a chatbot. A composed pipeline of specialised agents, each with a defined role, a documented toolset, and a declared failure mode.

agent/ingest-matter

Parses the incoming matter pack — pleadings, disclosure, witness statements, correspondence, exhibits. Identifies matter type, parties, jurisdiction, governing law. Produces a structured matter record the rest of the pipeline works against.

agent/map-evidence

Builds the evidence map — cross-references between documents, timeline reconstruction, attribution of claims to sources. Produces the spine of the trial bundle without a paralegal keeping it up to date by hand.

agent/cross-evidence-qa

Identifies contradictions between witness accounts, timeline gaps, documents that rebut each other, and claims unsupported by the evidence base. Flags for partner attention before cross-examination, not during.

agent/retrieve-precedent

Queries the per-firm source of truth — prior matters for this client, firm house positions, negotiated carve-outs. Reasoning grounded in the firm's playbook, not a web corpus.

agent/compile-bundle

Generates the trial bundle in court-ready format. UK CPR pagination and index rules. Polish KPC format where applicable. Every page traceable to source.

agent/qa-compliance

Compliance gate. Pre-filing check against CPR, KPC, SRA, adwokacka/radcowska tajemnica zawodowa, and RODO/UK GDPR rules. Rejects or flags anything below confidence threshold — professional conduct, not commercial QA.
